Vision

People create their own lives and connect as full citizens within vibrant, diverse, communities.

Mission

Facilitation Wellington Dufferin supports local independent facilitators who are guided by our values and independently governed by our agreed upon standards through our offering of a community of practice.  In doing so we support communities where people have real choice, value relationships, and contribute as full citizens. As a community of practice we align our actions, trainings and supportive connections with these values.

Values

Respect – Independent Facilitators ENGAGE in relationships based on respect and compassion.  Independent Facilitators value the dignity of people we serve.

Citizenship – Independent Facilitators TRUST that all people can participate in and contribute to their communities.  Community is the first resort for opportunities, resources and supports.

Focus on Strengths – Independent Facilitators RECOGNIZE people’s abilities and gifts.  Independent Facilitators ENCOURAGE people to share their talents and contribute to their communities.

Communication – Independent Facilitators LISTEN deeply to the many unique ways that people communicate. Being understood, when expressing ideas and goals, is an important part of self determination.

Personal Choice – Independent Facilitators BELIEVE that people lead better lives when they make decisions about what is important, supported by those that they choose.  Independent Facilitators encourage people to explore different options and to recognize future possibilities.

Relationships – Independent Facilitators VALUE diverse relationships and work to bring people together over time.  Strong, trusting and reciprocal relationships strengthen our abilities to live safe and fulfilling lives.

Accountability –  Independent Facilitators are ACCOUNTABLE to the people and families that we serve.  Independent Facilitators value transparency, commitment to quality and a culture of on-going learning.
